Configuring IPv6 MBGP
47
3. Identify the neighboring IPv6 MBGP routers.
4. Optional – Configure an IPv6 MBGP default route.
5. Optional – Configure an IPv6 multicast static route.
6. Optional – Configure an IPv6 MBGP aggregate address.
7. Optional – Configure a route map to apply routing policy to multicast routes.
8. Save the configuration changes to the startup-config file.
Setting the maximum number of multicast routes
supported
The BigIron RX supports up 1024 – 153,600 multicast routes.
NOTE
This procedure requires a software reload to place the change into effect.
To increase the maximum number of multicast routes supported on the device, enter commands
such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# system-max multicast-route 12000
BigIron RX(config)# write memory
BigIron RX(config)# end
BigIron RX# reload
These commands increase the maximum number of multicast routes supported, save the
configuration change to the startup-config file, and reload the software to place the change into
effect.
Syntax: [no] system-max multicast-route <num>
The <num> parameter specifies the number of multicast routes and can be from 1024 – 153,600.
Enabling IPv6 MBGP
To enable IPv6 MBGP, you must enable PIM SM or DM and IPv6 BGP. Enter commands such as the
following.
BigIron RX
>
enable
BigIron RX# configure terminal
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 router pim
BigIron RX(config-ipv6-pim-router)# interface ethernet 1/1
BigIron RX(config-if-e1000-1/1)# ipv6 address fe80::1234
BigIron RX(config-if-1/1)# ipv6 pim
BigIron RX(config-if-1/1)# exit
BigIron RX(config)# router bgp
ipv6BGP: Please configure 'local-as' parameter in order to enable ipv6BGP.
BigIron RX(config-bgp)# local-as 10
The commands in this example configure PIM DM globally and on port 1/1, then enable BGP4.
Once you enable PIM DM or PIM SM both globally and on the individual RPF interfaces, and enable
BGP4, support for MBGP is automatically enabled.
